  GUY C. FELLOWS. One of the pioneer settlers of Elk township and one of the

best known farmers in that precinct is the gentleman whose name heads this

sketch. He has been engaged in farming there for thirty-one years.



  Mr. Fellows is a native Minnesotan, having been born in Houston county May 18,

1857. His father was Milton Fellows, one of the prominent men among the early

day settlers of the county. He was born at Haverhill, New Hampshire, April 29,

1830, and in an early day came to Minnesota. He enlisted in a Minnesota regiment

at Rice-ford and served during the civil war, taking part in many important

engagements. In May, 1877, he came to Nobles county and took a homestead claim

in Elk township, where he engaged in farming until his death, which occurred May

4, 1880. Milton Fellows was married to Julia Buckland July 4, 1851. She was born

in New York state April 1, 1835, and died at the family home in Nobles county

July 5, 1885.



  Guy Fellows lived with his parents in Houston and Fillmore counties until he

was ten years of age. The family then moved to Ray county, Mo., and there Guy

spent the next ten years of his life. He was raised on his father's farm and

received a graded school education in Minnesota and Missouri. It was in May,

1877, that Guy came to Nobles county with his parents, and his home has ever

since been on the southeast quarter of section 10, Elk township. Upon reaching

his majority he took a homestead claim in Bloom township, but on account of his

father's illness he was forced to relinquish it. After the death of the elder

Fellows the heirs proved up on the-homestead. Guy purchased the interest of the

other heirs and has farmed the place ever since the death of his father.



  At Worthington on May 22, 1883, Mr. Fellows was united in marriage to Miss

Nettie Green, who was born in Buffalo county, Wis., in 1858. To them have been

born the following children: Amos Vergil, Edna May, George Clement, Julia Irene,

Ida Belle and Minerva, all of whom reside at home.



  Mr. Fellows has always taken an active interest in the affairs of the

community in which he resides. He has served as Elk's town clerk for sixteen

years. He is clerk of his school district and has held a school office for the

last twenty years or more. He has also served as township assessor. He holds a

membership in the Odd Fellows lodge of Worthington and was one of the charter

members of that lodge.
